"Station 51, KMJ-365" Oh wait, Wrong show! LOL

Look up a vintage LAFD training video called "Steering" 1 of 2. The footage in this video of the driver with JC on the back of his coat is the same footage in the LAFD training video. So is this fottage LA or Hawaii?

The small emblem on the doots looks an awful lot like the LA county logo. This is a hoot. In another episode of H5O there is building fire, and the responding firefighters are in yellow trucks clearly labeled Honolulu Fire Department.

I remember seeing that 1951 Seagrave TDA (Tractor Drawn Aerial) while I was stationed in Hawaii back in 1979. It was a reserve truck and sadly it had been painted yellow!

If I recall, wasn't Honolulu's fire trucks always Yellow???
Those are certainly LAFD units from the mid-60s at least...

iip47c, good catch. I never noticed that. Remember it's TV not real life. It'll cost the company more money to pay for "extra's". Even back then I'm sure. Besides the TV/movie folk get it wrong all the time with emergency services on the tube of big screen. Even the TV shows about emergency services.. Ugh!
Even the siren dubbing is wrong in the opening clip!

Pretty much all of the open cab crowns are gone or over in back section of the maint. shop. They kept one to use as their casket/funeral apparatus, and for other special events. I tend to see more Pierce engines and Quints now days. There a a few of the Seagrave ladder apparatus around. Interesting discovery, I found one of the new Pierce engines with what appears to be a real q2b. But havent heard it.

That first Crown is identical to the one LAFD presented to my city (Auckland, NZ) as a gift! My video isn't as good as this though...
Does the crown seem familiar from another NBC show?
